It's All About The Eyes - Best facial expressions for portrait photography

Описание: Eye placement and facial expressions are among my highest priorities when I am doing any modeling shot or portrait. The right expression and the placement of the eyes will make up for a less-than-great pose any day. I can also promise you that, if your business model relies on print sales, you'll make a lot more money if you pay close attention to expressions and eye placement in your photographs. This video will describe the best way to get great facial expressions for modeling and portrait photography.

For my shots, I want the eyes to communicate with the camera. I usually begin by explaining to my subjects that the majority of the photographs I'm going to take will feel as if they're looking into the camera lens. I'll tell them to imagine a box that allows them only a few inches of movement. I'll explain to them that the camera magnifies things and that, if ask them to turn their head, I am really only asking them to move about an inch at a time. I'd explain that they should always make the photographer ask for move. This way, I have much greater control. Generally, if you ask a person to turn their head, they will turn their head by at least three inches, or even more, and give you an angled view of the face that does not have pleasing eye placement, and as you can see here, makes the eye fall off the edge of the face.
